The BBC? Well ITV news is breathtaking.
People use British Gas because they always have done and watching BBC news is very much the same. I switched from British gas years ago but from habit continue to watch the news on BBC. To save me time does anyone watch Sky News and how does that compare to BBC?

Their choice of participants in their daily "What the papers say" show is illuminating. But I can't compare it as I don't watch BBC news Edited by steve1984 (06 Dec 2018 11.48am)

I just read 'Phantom Rectum' - true story. In many ways wish I hadn't.

I moved this across from the Tommy Robinson thread so as to be nice and tidy.. Originally posted by Stirlingsays
Go on then....BBC articles that 'pander' to the right. The reality is that the BBC should not be involved in any of this obvious position taking......not and also claim to be impartial. I looked for editorial that backed my claim about the bbc pandering to the right. I didn't find any. Doubtless I could find some examples if I spent weeks looking but that wouldn't really prove my point of it took me so long. So I'm gonna give you this one. In fact BBC online is full of the kind of liberal fluff that gets on a lot of people's tits. I only ever look at it for the weather and occasionally the football results. But please do me a favour and tell me where you see "obvious position taking" as I don't see any of that either.

I would say this is fairly typical: “Some newspapers are reporting a feud between the Duchess of Cambridge and the Duchess of Sussex. But how much is this really the case? How much is it simply a made-up misogynistic storyline?” The leap to mysogony is fairly spectacular. Apparently there is also racism at play and she is being “othered ” pretty much winning today’s oppression Olympics.

He's the bloke who hacked a murdered child's phone. Before paying for his sins by changing the name of the NoW to the Sun on Sunday. Forgive me for not listening to 4'30" of Woman's Hour. I'm a bloke. Anything else?

I would actually like to give thanks to the BBC and ITV channels. Thank you for sparing the nation from having to endure the two most boring drab individuals you could imagine. The Corbyn and May Show... BBC and ITV clearly acting in the national interest.

While we may differ on things you appear to be kind of honest, which is worthwhile whatever side of the political line a person is on.
